N-422 Linear Drive
NOTICE
Damage from collision of the coupling element with the base body!
If the coupling element collides with the base body of the N-422, damage or
considerable wear to the N-422 can result.
Design the positioning system so that no contact is possible between the
coupling element and the base body of the N-422.
NOTICE
Damage from opening the base body!
Opening the base body destroys the N-422.
Do
not
open the N-422.
NOTICE
Warping the base body when mounting onto uneven surfaces!
Mounting the N-422 onto an uneven surface can warp the base body and therefore
the linear drive. A warped base body reduces the feed force.
Mount the N-422 on an even surface. The recommended flatness of the surface
is 50 µm.
In the case of applications with great temperature changes:
Only mount the N-422 on surfaces that have the same or similar thermal
expansion properties as the N-422 (e.g., stainless steel surfaces).
NOTICE
Heating up of the N-422 during operation!
During operation, the N-422 emits up to 15 watts of heat, which can interfere with
your application.
Install the N-422 so that the application is not impaired by the emitted heat.
Ensure sufficient ventilation at the place of installation.
Make sure that the complete bottom side of the N-422 is in contact with the
surface on which the N-422 is mounted.
If possible: Observe the optimum operating conditions (duty cycle, ambient
temperature), see "Lifetime" (p. 33).
NOTICE
Damage from unsuitable cables!
Unsuitable cables can damage the electronics.
Use cables provided by PI only for connecting the N-422 to the electronics.
